Fair enough. Design something new. CLEAN ROOM. Java is unclean. Encumbered. 
Proprietary. It would be immoral to use it and a fundamental betrayal of the 
principles of the Free Software movement. It would be a tremendous corruption 
of all that the GNU project stands for to even consider using Java.

I only suggest Mono because it is the only other alternative we have at 
present. *Open* standard. Free, unencumbered.
